Colleen Pressprich
Author
I am a former missionary and Montessori teacher who uses all of the lessons learned in the mission field and the classroom to live her dream of homeschooling and ministering in the Domestic Church.
In my spare time, I write, blog, cultivate our classroom and curriculum, and create handmade faith-filled items for our family and friends. You can most often find in yoga pants, surrounded by piles of laundry, looking for my cold coffee.
If you’re looking for more of our loud and messy journey towards Heaven, you can follow me on instagram @colleenpressprich.
